The Heartbeat

With 3 weeks to go to the 2014 Olympics, our winter athletes are competing around the world in preparation for or in hope of qualifying for the Games.

 Keep checking the SportCafé calendar (www.sportcafe.ca/events) for ongoing event information with links and updates. I am also in the process of adding the Olympic events to the calendar. More info to follow to help make your Olympic viewing simpler and more complete.

If you are participating in or know of an event that could be featured, please contact me: suzanne[at]sportcafe[dot]ca or via Twitter @olympichearts.
